Slodki...Slony




For many years, Slodki...Slony has been my first stop upon arriving in Warsaw and my last stop before heading back to the airport.


Slodki...Slony, (Sweet....Salty) is a small restaurant/pastry shop with a decent lunch and dinner menu and a spectacular bakery.  I have eaten lunch here only once, a very good soup and sandwich but I really keep coming back for the baked goods.

Their cakes, pastries and babas are just delicious.  The place has a beautiful old fashion decor, dark furniture and flowery walls.  Upon entering, one is almost transported in time, to Poland long gone.  But Slodki...Slony is not just looks and no content.

I have tasted my share of their products and can vouch for the great taste, freshness and high quality.














Beautiful meringue cakes in the display are tempting passers by on ul. Mokotowska.










I also love their take out boxes, pink, pretty and feminine. 




 My all time favorites are the small plum buns and the larger babeczki w raspberries. 



Delicious cheesecake with raisins.



Seasonal fruit cake, available only during the summer.
















 I usually buy a box of these plum buns to bring back to New York.  They are superb, sweet and are quickly devoured by my husband and kids.









Their yeast baba covered with sugar frosting and sprinkled with raisins is light, tasty and full of flavor.





 During one of my pre-airport runs I even ran into Mrs.  Magda Gessler, the creator of Slodki...Slony, a restaurateur and a TV personality. 



Ready to fly back home.

Bordier Butter - The Best Butter in France

France is in the midst of a butter shortage!  Due to a decrease in milk production and a substantial demand for French pastries all over the world (mainly China and the Middle East), the price of butter has increased by 60% in one year.  The French are stocking up and thus creating shortages.  French newspapers are publishing articles titled "A guide to cooking without butter".  So, with hopes that the shortages are temporary, here is my ode to the best butter in the world.  I'm not kidding.  The. Best. Butter. In. The. World. Mr. Bordier, a grandson and a son of cheese mongers, became a butter artisan in 1985.  He acquired a creamery originally founded in 1927.  The supreme taste of the Bordier butter was first recognized by a chef from the Plaza Athenee while vacationing in Brittany, a beautiful region in northwestern France. Bordier is the lone butter master to still use the old method of kneading the butter according to the 19th century t...

Azura, Jerusalem

Azura, an eatery in the Machane Yechuda market was opened by Ezra, nicknamed "Azura" in 1952 after he emigrated from Turkish Kurdistan. These days, Azura, run by Ezra's nine children, has a cult-like status, and the crowds to prove it. Azura is not easy to find and your best bet is to enter it from the Iraqi part of the Machane Yechuda market.  It is almost impossible to find it from the street. The restaurant is located on a small square filled with older man playing backgammon and sipping tea, which just adds richness to the already wonderful atmosphere. The food is cooked slowly in these large pots over gas burners. The menu was so packed with delicacies, we had a difficult time choosing just a few dishes. We started our lunch with this wonderfully creamy hummus with warm mushrooms and onion, a combination which has always been my favorite. The tomato, cucumber, and onion salad came garnished with parsley and a healthy dose of ta...

OCD Restaurant, Tel Aviv

After our  first very memorable visit to OCD, we were eager to repeat the experience.  I booked our dinner about a month in advance since, deservedly, OCD has become much more popular in the last year or so.  They still do two seatings per night and one Friday brunch per month. There is something very exciting about the surprise aspect of the dining experience at OCD.  There is no menu; while booking the reservation one is asked about any dietary restrictions, and during the evening the diners watch each dish being meticulously prepared by the team in the open kitchen.  We marveled as we watched attention being paid to every minute detail and the choreography utilized by the chefs in assembling each plate.  This is more than a dinner; it is a theatrical production with spectacular and beautifully presented food. Our dinner began with this beautiful poori with cardamom leaves foam and cucumber ceviche. Marinated amberjack with soy and lemon, b...
